win32: improve the performance of win32.unlink() over CIFS

Emulating POSIX unlink() behavior with os.rename() and os.unlink() is often slow
especially over CIFS from Windows clients due to its protocol overhead. This
patch changes win32.unlink() to try first an exclusive open with the Win32
delete-on-close flag, and if a sharing violation is detected, to fall back to
the original emulation.

This patch also removes a test with os.path.isdir() since we expect opening a
directory shall fail as os.unlink() would.
